O. Box 1, Hamamatsu, Japan CONGRATULATIONS! Your Yamaha EMX3500 Powered Mixer is an ideal choice for medium-scale PA and sound reinforcement applications. The EMX3500 is available in 12- and 16-channel models, each of which features a high-performance stereo power amplifier that delivers a powerful 350 watts per channel into 4-ohm loads. Each input channel offers a choice of balanced low-impedance XLR or TRS phone jack inputs, and a 20-dB pad switch and input gain control allow precise level matching with any input source. [. . . ] These controls should be used to optimally match the monitor mix output levels to the input sensitivities of the power amplifiers used. M PHONES control This control adjusts the level of the stereo signal delivered from the PHONES jack located directly below it on the front panel. Since this level adjustment is made after the GEQ, the volume of sound heard from the headphones will be affected by both the master stereo faders and the PHONES control. I CD IN controls The CD IN control adjusts the level of the input signals from CD players or similar sound sources that are connected to the master mixing bus from the stereo CD IN jacks on the top panel. These signals are added to the bus in front of the GEQ, allowing the EMX3500 to equalize the signals from the CD players before output. The CD IN A/B switch, located below the CD IN control, selects between input from the CD IN A and CD IN B jacks. N PHONES jack This jack delivers the main program signal to a pair of 40 stereo monitor headphones. The volume of the output signal is adjusted by both the PHONES control and the master stereo faders. 7 Top Panel Q A CD IN -6dB R B L EFFECT RETURN +4dB 1L/ MONO 2L/ MONO S EFFECT SEND +4dB 1 A L O B R REC OUT -10dBV R TAPE IN -10dBV 1R 2R 2 MONITOR OUT +4dB A LINE INSERT I/O +4dB L L L L P I/O 1 2 3 R R R PRE GEQ R POST GEQ B T Phantom Power Warning To prevent hazard or damage, connect only microphones and cables that conform to the IEC268-15A standard. U V O Channel input connectors Each of the EMX3500's input channels is provided with both a balanced XLR connector (A) and a balanced tipring-sleeve 1/4" phone jack (B). The channel's input selector switch on the front panel is used to select between these input connectors. Signal sources that don't require phantom power should be connected to the phone jack (B) when the PHANTOM POWER ON/ OFF switch is turned on. Line GROUND HOT (+) COLD (-) XLR (A) Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Phone jack (B) Sleeve Tip Ring P Channel insert I/O jack Each input channel has a tip-ring-sleeve 1/4" phone jack that serves as an insert patch point for the connection of external signal processing devices or other equipment between the channel's head amplifier (the first amplifier stage after input) and the EQ stage. The channel insertion point is ideal for the insertion of a compressors, noise gate, equalizer, or other effect that needs to be applied to a specific channel only. This jack accommodates both the send (output) and receive (input) lines required by the insert point. The signals are sent and received at a nominal level of +0 dB. TIP-RING-SLEEVE PHONE PLUG Tip : output (send to external device) GND + S R T GND (PHANTOM) + Sleeve :ground Ring : input (return from external device) A B PAD HA 8 Q CD IN jacks These phono jacks accept line-level (­6 dB) input signals from CD players, DAT decks, or similar playback sources. These signals are added to the master stereo mixing bus in front of the GEQ. The selection between input from the CD IN A jack and the CD IN B jack is made using the CD IN A/B switch on the front panel. T REC OUT and TAPE IN jacks These phono jacks are used to send stereo signals (­10 dBV) to and from a connected tape deck. The REC OUT jacks send the unequalized pre-fader signal from the master bus for recording by the tape deck. The TAPE IN jacks connect the playback signal from the tape deck to the master mixing bus in front of the GEQ. The levels of these signals are adjusted by the REC OUT and TAPE IN controls on the front panel. R EFFECT RETURN jacks The output from external effect units fed by the EFFECT SEND jacks can be returned to the main program mix via these 1/4" phone jacks. Note that both effect circuits have stereo EFFECT RETURN jacks, allowing the EMX3500 to accommodate effect devices with stereo output. To return a monophonic effect signal to both channels of the master stereo mixing bus, use the EFFECT RETURN L jack. (The R jack should be left open. ) The levels of the signals input by these jacks are adjusted by the corresponding EFFECT RETURN controls on the front panel. The nominal input level for these jacks is +4 dB. U LINE INSERT I/O jacks These tip-ring-sleeve 1/4" phone jacks serve as insert patch points for the connection of external signal processing devices or other equipment to the master stereo mixing bus. There are two pairs of jacks, allowing the devices to be connected both in front of and behind the GEQ. The line insertion points are ideal for the insertion of stereo effects that need to be applied to the entire mix. These jacks accommodate both the send (output) and receive (input) lines required by the insert points. [. . . ] To get around this problem, try cutting response in the frequency range where the feedback is occurring. (You may have to experiment a bit to find this range. ) This solution will compromise the overall frequency response of the program, but it is better than running the risk of squealing feedback in the middle of an important performance. · If you connect speakers to only one of the output jacks (SPEAKER 1 or SPEAKER 2), on either channel (R or L), the total impedance of the speaker system connected to that channel may be no less than 4 ohms. · If you plug speakers into both the SPEAKER 1 and SPEAKER 2 jacks of either channel (R or L), the total load impedance of the speaker systems connected to each output of that channel must be no less than 8 ohms. (Note that two 8-ohm speaker systems connected in parallel form a 4ohm load). [. . . ]
